And demons....

Witches and warlocks hide their true identities from the rest of the human population, while three teens with demon heritage living with human families, become unlikely companions in a race against time to deal with a demon threat to humankind in their own quirky way.

Alana Fainot, a witch and half Kubiteron demon, witnesses a Matusa murder his summoner, and she knows he’ll target her next. Raised by her mother, she has no idea who her demon father is. But when she’s pulled to a demon portal, she meets Hunter Ross, half Matusa, half human, who returns demons to their world, but who’s been poisoned by a Matusa and is more dead than alive. His human mother gave him up for adoption, and he doesn’t know who either of his birth parents are. His friend Jared Kensington, full blooded Elantus demon, less powerful than the Kubiteron, is a whiz at electronics and helps Hunter track demons in the city, but was abandoned by his parents on Earth world for reasons unknown. He’s determined to find help to save Hunter. Alana knows aiding any Matusa is a mistake, but when she learns Hunter is half human, she makes a deal—he protects her against the Matusa who will come for her, and she helps find his dad in the demon world to save Hunter’s life.

Often at odds, the three teens work together to stop the plans of a group of Matusa to take over the human race before it’s too late.

Alana Fainot is a demon gate guardian, stuck in her last boring year of school. But not for long. Hunter and the rest of the gang show up when her astral form can't return to her physical form, and she's at the police station trying to talk her way out of having seen the murderer of a summoner. Hunter always knew Alana was trouble, but his kind of trouble, and he's not leaving Alana alone again.

Celeste Sweetwater, a new kind of demon, joins Hunter and Alana and the rest of the demon guardians in a fight to find a new kind of portal device that can summon several demons at once. But not only that, another Matusa has been unleashed on the unsuspecting human world and the demon guardians must stop him before he wreaks much more havoc.

But this time, the police are involved, paranormal investigators pounce on the area, and the whole mess seems to be spiraling out of the demon guardians' control.

I was blown away yesterday by the comments to Tuesday's Question. My friends, you displayed such creative ingenuity and hilarity. I had to pinch myself between laughs to make sure I wasn't dreaming. What really got to me was how honest and down to earth you all were. I really am impressed and grateful that each and every one of you are my friends and fellow bloggers.

This weekly post is fun and ninety-nine percent of the reason is because of you, my talented comrades. I'm glad you're my readers and grateful you're my friends. Have a nice week and weekend, and be sure and have lots of great fun! However, judging by these comments, it looks as if great fun shouldn't be such a hard thing for any of you to do!

Tuesday's Question: What Is Your Favorite Age, and Guiltiest Pleasure?

Sandee from Comedy Plus Answered First:

Sandee (Comedy +) said...

The greatest time in my life (except for now) was when I came of age in 1969. I wanted to be a flower child in San Francisco. Off I went to the big city, long hair, headband complete with a flower. I roamed all over the city, lived in a commune and basically did nothing productive for about two months. It was a big thrill at the time. Free love and peace was my mantra. I'll leave it at that.

I have lots of guilty pleasures now. Blogging with my buddies (you know who you are), boating and being with my husband. I enjoy my champagne and pasta. I've worked all my life to be able to enjoy these things. I just wish I could have champagne and pasta whenever I wanted. Sigh..., but this time of my life is the absolute best!

Patois at Whee! All The Way Home

The spring and summer I was 16. A great group of friends. Lots of freedom. Lots of laughing. And a boy I was madly in love with. Ahhhh.

It is such a treat to have such an articulate group of bloggers all in one spot answering Tuesday's Question. I'm in awe of every single blogger who commented yesterday and know you will enjoy their answers ! If you've haven't read the following blogs, do yourself a favor and clink on their links, I personally guarantee you'll enjoy them. Have a great day, and be sure and eat your vegetables! (And yes Patois, potato chips count)

What is your Favorite song?

Have fun!

My first comment is from Bob from Bobbarama
Uh ... this one? http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=lrjtbjuuco Hee hee OK ... maybe ... this one? http://www.toilette-humor.com/the-man-song.html No, no, no ... this one! http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=2xenssvv0t I know the drill. Going to my corner for five minutes of timeout. :)

Sandee from Comedy Plus Now this changes with time and I have tons of favorites. I could probably make a very long list. But for todays question the answer is easy; Boyz II Men - End Of The Road. It's my all time fave when it plays on my MP3 during my morning walks. Now these guys can sing!


Patois from Whee! All The Way Home

It totally depends on my mood. Springsteen, for sure. Lately, it's "The Price You Pay" off his 1980 River album.

Christy, from Christys Coffee Break

I have four million favorite songs! I love music, I love lyrics. In the mood I'm in now I'd choose, Love Of My Life by Morten Harket, it's beautiful. :)

And last but certainly not least Winston for Eat Your Maths

I can't give you my answers as they are chinese songs :( So sorry :'(



Bob was nice enough to come back and leave a link for three hilarious tunes. (He says they're not his favorite songs, Smile.) I tried to embed them but couldn't get it to work. There are so funny, especially The Man Song! Here are the links!

Thanks Bobbarama!

The links didn't work in my comment, so I'll try again. These aren't my favorite songs, of course ... too many to choose from ... but they're fun.

Enjoy

Hilarious lip sync

The Man Song

Unexpected dance

That's right, my blogging buddies hit Tuesday's question right out of the park yesterday! It reminded of a time when a friend's son, Bobbarama a bat against a baseball so hard he sent it flying smack dab in the middle of a concession stand! There were two twisted sisters sisters totally-pissed-off about the whole thing. By the end of the day we were all so tired we went to Christy's Coffee Break to recover.

Anyway, getting back to my post, I hadn't any idea that so many of my readers could write comedy, plus such articulate posts? Tuesday's Question for several weeks now, and I've had remarkable responses, but yesterday really blew me away!

I'm proud of these talented bloggers, who took time out from their own blogs to answer my silly 'Tuesday Question!'

When I first thought of ways to connect with readers, I was told not to expect much in the way of participation, unless I was going to offer a healthy gratuity. However, my readers have proven that you can trust your instincts, especially when it comes to your friends.

I believe in friendship, and connecting with others, especially when I really like the people I've met. All of you are totally fabulous people, that I'm honored to know, and I will not likely forget, even when I'm famous. I will not forget that you stood beside me on my lonely walk to fame! Thank you so much for doing what is not an easy task, and something not many people have been able to do... render me speechless!

Here are the comments of the bloggers who commented with a link to their blog.

Please, help me show my gratitude for their friendship and participation, by clicking on their links and paying them a visit! Even if you already know the blogger, stop by and say hello.

Thanks to you all soo much, and be sure to join me again next week for my next Tuesday question. I'll try an find something fun to do ....

What's the story behind your first childhood kiss?

zubli zainordin, from Walks in Beauty and

What is the story behind my first kiss? I have been searching for it, and I am not able to trace it. Why? It was a flying kiss. Yet, now I am ready for my first real kiss. Then, I shall relate more...

insanity-suits-me (dawn), from Twisted Sister.... Totally Pissed off!

My first kiss.... ahhh the memories...
My first kiss was absolutely DISGUSTING! I was 11 years old and although I had a crush on this boy, apparently I wasn't ready to receive his wet, sloppy and drooly affections! I thought he was spitting in my mouth and all I could think was - "this is totally gross".
A year later that same boy kissed me again... his technique had improved and I have to admit I enjoyed it immensely! LOL

Ellen, from Positive Communication


ahhh Ann, what are you doing?? This is getting way too personal...
Now I will having to confess that..
I'm still waiting for my first kiss..
Really, really tried EVERYTHING: staying in bed for a couple of days pretending to be asleep, walking around with two big signs saying 'free kisses here', even went to the pond searching for some frogs.. NOTHING...
So.. I'll have to pass on this one...
Looking forward to experiences from others though.. just to experience it a little bit...


Christy, from Christy's Coffee Break,

My first kiss was at sixteen with the pizza boy. He was the most popular guy in his high school, super good looking, but there wasn't a spark to be found, lol. I was the envy of every girl in that high school for the next two years, so it was a worthwhile kiss! Now if you asked me what my BEST kiss was you'd hear a completely different story, lol. :)


Sandee, from Comedy Plus

Well Ann, I haven't a clue. I don't remember at all. I know there had to be a first kiss, but I really don't remember. So, it must have been a blah kiss. You know, not gross or great. Now if you want to talk about hot kisses, that's another story. I'll be thinking about this question for days I'm sure.

Bob, from Bobbarama.com

I'll always remember my first kiss, mostly because I missed in the dark with my eyes closed as I leaned in for the big moment and kissed her in her nostrils.

I still clearly remember thinking in the dark with my eyes closed, 'Where exactly on her face am I?'

I can't even begin to imagine what she was thinking.

Cathy, if you're reading this, just be glad I didn't know how to French kiss at that age --- twelve, was it? --- because we'd both still be having nightmares.

End-

Bob, I wonder what Cathy thought? (Laughing out loud)

I laughed myself silly at all of your answers! Thank you to all of you again, I could read this post over and over!

Maybe you noticed the links at the top of this post? This idea is the brainchild of the talented blogger from dcr blogs. He included me in his lost links post, and I wanted to see how well I could do it. You ought to try it its fun! How did I do dcr?

Plus, check out his blog, it's fun! dcr Blogs

I decided to post an article I posted back in May, when I hadn't many readers,(like I have so many now)entitled Young Children's Nightmares, along with the comments I received yesterday in response to my Tuesday's Question, What Used To Live Under Your Bed?since the two are obviously related.

It's a long post, so I copied part of it and linked to the rest in archives, in case you want to read all of it. Nightmares are such a huge part of our childhoods we remember the bad ones well into adulthood. You can tell from my readers comments that their memories are vivid when it comes to recalling their worst childhood fears. I noticed that the readers who remembered, recalled the details of what they imagined was in the closet, under the bed, or just what they were sacred to death of in childhood. Incidentally, what the bloggers who couldn't remember wrote were so entertaining in answering what they thought they may have been frightened of or thought, that I had to post them all. I hope there isn't anyone disappointed that I didn't choose three blogs to review. The responses to this question were just too priceless not to post then all, and I'm sure after reading them you will understand!

I copied the responses in the order received,

Walksforwoman,

Oh dear Anne, I don't think I want to remember!

I was such a scaredy cat when I was young and couldn't go to bed without first checking everything in the room. I had an old fashioned bedroom with large furniture which took on the shape of faces in the moonlight. I had an open fireplace that the wind used to howl down - and a horrible cupboard that I never kept anything in.

Little has changed - I still don't like the dark. :)

Dr. Bill from Dr. Bill's Harley Wisdom, said

When I was a child, it was a female -- the witch from "The Wizard of Oz." And when I thought about who was in my closet, I had trouble falling asleep. Now, as an adult, it's still a female in my closet... only she looks like Angela Jolie (and when I think about who's in my closet, I still have trouble falling asleep).

Jos from NoDirectOn(not:NoDirection)said,

I never had something living under my bed (except maybe some gone-off foods in my days as a university student when I lived in 1 very small room, lol!).
I do remember however that when I was 5, 6 yrs old, I used to be very afraid that the house would burn down while I was asleep and therefore would not want to sleep.
My dad handled this very cleverly, by "convincing" me that this fear might be caused by the light of a street lamp post shining through my thin bedroom curtains, and he replaced those with much thicker ones, so my room went DARKER. And strangely enough, I 'bought that' and the fear was gone. I only realized much much later how clever that was of him. He solved my problem and at the same time turned 'the darkness' into a friend in one go.

The most fabulous Bob from Bobbarama said,

I can't think of anything that ever lived under my bed, except perhaps the bacteria on the laundry. Much to my mother's chagrin, I used to sling my clothes under there at night because I was either too lazy or too tired after goofing all day and night after school to use the hamper. Not even sure where mom kept the hamper, now that I think about it.

OK, wait, does this count: I used to look in the closet occasionally just to see if Marcia Brady from The Brady Bunch was hiding in there. You just never know when a guy's gonna get lucky.

August 21, 2007 11:28 AM




Sandee from Comedy Plus, said,

Oh this is good Ann. The Devil hid all over my room. I figured out many years later that going to church is what did it. The pastor preached fire and brimstone and that if you didn't follow the Lord the Devil would get you. It must have scared me half to death because I was convinced the Devil lived in my room.

When I got older I figured it out, but it was very traumatizing. Out in the real world I met a few Devils too. That's a whole different story. Have a great day and thanks for the kudo's on the Blog Interviewer.com. :)

And last but certainly not least, Nick from Anything Goes said,

I used to cover my face with my pillow all nite until I feel asleep for fear of the 'hand' appearing from under my bed! And if I did wake up in the middle of the nite for whatever reasons, I'd be totally freaked out and wouldn't budge an inch until I fell asleep again (grandma's ghost story telling session earlier just made things worse ... LOL!)




August 22, 2007 1:10 AM


These are The best blogger sports out there, and I so much enjoyed your contribution!



Here is my post entitled, Young Children's
Nightmares:



“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”, exclaimed Dorothy, right before she awakes from her wonderfully imaginative, and inventive dream in our beloved , The Wizard Of Oz.

Dorothy's subconscious desire to survive is so strong, it expresses itself in the wonderful land of Oz. Our childhood nightmares are the artful manifestation of a healing or learning process our subconscious self is working to get through. Although, bad dreams in young children can be a necessary and valuable tool for parent and child, you never get used to the look on your child’s face when they wake from a nightmare.

What does a parent do when lions, tiger’s and bears creep into their youngsters room late at night? What do you do when you are awakened by the sound of terrified screams in another part of the house, only to discover it was only a dream? The first time this happened at our house, I was petrified that someone was trying to carry my son off in the middle of the night. The onset of this experience, encouraged me to learn why children have nightmares, however, it didn't explain to me why our child was experiencing them.
It was terrible, and I got to where I started anticipating the sound of a sleepy child's cry in the middle of the night. It is a terrible feeling for a parent to experience, since you haven't the slightest idea what in the world could possibly implore such a horrible dream.

Followed by the typical mothers guilt, that lovely emotion that comes gift wrapped with childbirth. There was some lethal creature awaiting our poor child every night for weeks when he first started school, and I hadn't the slightest idea how to help him.


Often scary creatures are the representations of negative emotions stored up about a particular feeling or event they have experienced, but you do not know what that event or feeling is when your child has their first nightmare, particularly when a string of nightmares follow. Therefore,when you go to comfort your youngster it's important you ask the right questions, and make careful observations about their behavior.

Is there a bully at school, or a subject they are having trouble learning? When your child has a nightmare, or nightmares, asking these questions is a crucial part of understanding the basis for their dreams. It not only helps you understand what is troubling them, it provides children with an opportunity to voice what is causing them their grieve.

Here Are A Few Of The Answers in my Comments to my Tuesdays Question:


Every Tuesday evening, I review the answers to my Tuesday's Question in comments, then I choose three of my favorite responses to the question. I wish I could post everyones comments, but in an effort to create a level of apprehension and excitement, I only choose three, but I write a small blog review of each.

I have to put in his other one too:

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Yep, quite a guy!
